在过渡时期的最后几年,香港出现了值得关注的新形势:在政制问题上,英方拒绝与中方合作,中英双方各行其是,香港的政权交接、平稳过渡将受到冲击;而与此同时,在香港的英国因素和中国因素呈现此消彼长之势,中国因素正日益壮大,为中国如期恢复行使主权,保持香港长期的稳定繁荣提供最有力的保证。 In the last years of the transitional period, a notable new situation has emerged in Hong Kong: on the issue of political system, the British side refuses to cooperate with China and both China and Britain act in the right way. Hong Kong’s regime will be handed over and the smooth transition will be undermined. At the same time, The British factor and the Chinese factor in Hong Kong have shown the opposite trend. The growing factor of China is providing the most powerful guarantee for China’s resumption of the exercise of sovereignty as scheduled and the maintenance of Hong Kong’s long-term stability and prosperity.
